ATTN ATTN ATTN strayinging from my oblique sunny-day-at-the-beach,boy-is-this-hot sands of Social Politics to the this place oceanic analog of Political Politics
yall (be obama, be exbestfriends, be all the strangers with their big dense tapestry lives (req. four dimensional imagination)) caught me smilin again, but this kina smile that's like alright aight aight i guess i gotta do something
ENTER:
the man, the guy,,, the Dude. right the first Dude. black as the Kanye and almost as manly as howard roark, being sassy and leading from the hip, organizing shit and marketing things like CHANGE, and HOPE, and CHANGE. holy cow fundamental change? man my generation n my 'smart' thinkin friends is down with that that's for sure, we dont like being obese and we dont like walmart and we dont like that all of our desires/wants/fears are prearranged by the BIG SIX MAN
OKAY BUT WAIT fuckin, yea man, like, people are cheap, fuckin words man they's cheap people say anything you know man, fuckin derrida man; what iiis love, man? i have a dream? fuck you i have a dream. there's weapons in the middle east? fuck you motherfuck
(ps dont watch too much that shit just up to like 36 seconds or yer brain'll stop working)
LET'S DO THIS
wait, what?what's wrong man? i've seen this once, it's not hard, it's easy really, it's called flirting: you project a character so that the target opens their gates up and you snuggle in and then it turns out there's a lot more to you than just one shade. sociopaths make good roommates because they will always only let you see the one character, the crazy ass one. real people make bad roommates because then you have to see more of their shades the ones they's rightfully ashamed of and all the others to boot. the thing that makes sense about roommates is you can change them the thing that makes sense about flirting is you can choose a new target the thing that's cool about shitty relationships is you can get out of them the thing that makes sense about democracy is impeachment unless you're lazy, then you just learn to deal with the Shit, it becomes a part of you and it lives in you and no, human doesn't 'adapt' to it, like it's happy to do, it just feeds it dont it, "oh that's how things are, shitty" why are you so bitchy, girl working behind the ice cream thing at rite aid? why did you say Nope when karl asked if he could please have cookies n cream? "I just am"
BUT NO HE'S GOT THE BEAT YEAH HE'S LOOKING OUT FOR SOME SHIT I SWEAR
fuck i guess it's game over, the bad guys win. the rules are jenga'd all over the floor now, decision-making's out the window. if it quacks like a duck and bleats like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a duck,, right? no! i trick people all the time into seeing me in ways they cant control, information is really the most useful power, i promise, ask anybody who hates joshdrilling, and i dont get salary to do so. really i go into dopamine-debt, it feels like shit doing it to people you love4
4 everybody
